Since it is said that knowledge is power, let's look at powerful news sites.

WORLD KNOWLEDGE DATABASE

Besides offering news from around the world, World Knowledge Database (WKD) has a world of subjects for the student of knowledge. Read the headlines from Azerbaijan to Zimbabwe. Bone up on anthrax, earthquakes, tobacco or music. Use Boolean search methods and sort by source, language (Afrikaans, Swahili and others) and date. WKD News targets students and reports on students throughout the world.

Knowledge seekers will find links to book reviews, youth opportunities, Internet, travel and even cartoons. Hot link to a variety of subjects from art and culture to geography and physics. Investigate the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, Isaac Newton and the Industrial Revolution. Educate yourself on colleges, distance learning and career planning. From libraries to chat rooms and a hot link to the World News Network, WDK is a newsworthy site to explore.

THE WORLD NEWS NETWORK

The World News Network (WNN) stable of sites is extensive.

WNN coverage is impressive. I could spend a day or more uncovering the wide-reaching content of WNN. Even detailing its indices would take considerable space.

Here's just a glimpse of its holdings. It offers: FilmNews, EconomicNews, Broadcasting.com, WorldHeadlines.com, WorldTechNews.com, TopFinancialNews.com, EconomicsNews, WorldBankNews and much, much more. You'll find links to news for most sports you can imagine, music genres, radio around the world, theatre, travel and too many topics to list.

THE WORLD NEWS

From Abu Dhabi to East Timor and Kazakhstan to Yemen, this site means world news. Select headlines, photos, countries, cities and topics. The subject index is quite large. Delve into the world of aluminum, Arab economies, swindles and waste disposal. Or turn your browser dial to renewable energy, malpractice, NATO, smoking and whaling. Even grin and chuckle over World News Sports Cartoons.

WORLDPHOTOS.COM

As an amateur shutterbug and news addict, WorldPhotos.com, one of WNN's sites, is a must see (pun intended). Like all of the sites in WNN's stable, it is searchable by headline, Boolean phrase and the like. Take a view of the world at

INSTANT KNOWLEDGE NEWS

This very busy site links to news around the globe. Besides international headlines and news highlights, it offers direct links to foreign news in English. Also, pick a country and find a news source or sources. There are links to other news aggregators. It even provides a search box linked to WorldNews.com, one of its affiliates that power the site. Thanks to Joseph and Candace Carman, the site's editors who brought Instant Knowledge News to the Internet Prospector's attention. This is definitely a news power site to bookmark.
